Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““A spontaneous statement or excited utterance is an exception to the hearsay rule under the rationale that where the statement is made as a result of shock produced by the event, the utterance may be taken as expressing the true belief of the speaker. State v. Ghiffin, 662 S.W.2d 854, 858 (Mo. banc 1983), cert. denied, 469 U.S. 873 , 105 S.Ct. 224 , 83 L.Ed.2d 153 (1984). A victim’s statement that she has been raped is admissible as an excited utterance. State v. Wilson, 719 S.W.2d 28, 33 (Mo.App.1986). The statement here was admissible under the above authority as an exception to the hearsay rule. The assault by [the accused] had only just been perpetrated and the shock of the event lends the necessary credibility to the statement.””
